Stephanie Peterson is a professional actress based in Texas. Her extensive credits include work in film, national commercials, print media, and radio voiceover. In 2007, she won the Best Actress award at the Darkhorse Film Festival for her work in RELATION.

Director Robby Storey had this to say about Stephanie’s work on the film (taken from an interview on Pearl Snap Discount):

“We didn’t have a whole lot of prep time for RELATION so it was crucial to find an actress who could step in and successfully elevate the material from page to screen in a crunch. We gave Peterson the role without hesitation, having previously witnessed her dramatic prowess. She’s also hilarious, by they way. On RELATION it was astounding how she did so much with so little time. And I think as a duo we were able to delve into the nuances of such an unconventional and complicated relationship.”

The weather tried to hold us back on set of the JCPenney national commercial I shot last week, but we wouldn’t let it! We all pressed on and waited as needed.

Kamille and I on set

It was great to finally work with some Austinites! In between my first child and second, I worked in Dallas and Oklahoma (not complaining!). Now that Emma is getting older, I hope to be working in Austin more.

This one is a national broadcast commercial, so be looking for it soon!

I Am... Gabriel screening - I am second from the right - and 7 months pregnant!

In April, I had the privilege to attend the screening of I Am… Gabriel, a touching film shot in 2011 starring John Schneider and Dean Cain. Everyone was amazing to work with; it’s been one of my favorite projects to date.

I can’t believe I’m almost wrapped on I Am… Gabriel (one more day on set this week)! It’s been such an amazing film to be a part of. The crew is amazing, the cast is amazing. The God is amazing! 🙂

During week 2, I got to shoot my scene with Dean Cain, who was fantastic to work with – and a really nice guy!

We also shot the climax of the movie, and I was so moved by God’s presence while filming (I wish I could show you some of the pics from that night, but I don’t want to spoil it!). And I was only one of many so humbled to be doing this work for Him!

Here’s a pic of most of the cast members. One short film shoot, and we’re like old friends!

This week, I get to work with John Schneider, whom I’ve heard is fantastic! Can’t wait!

What a week it’s been! On Wednesday, I was transformed into a fairy princess-style character for a fun commercial campaign. It was so much fun to do a commercial that felt like a mini-film! Once the commercial airs, I’ll post the fabulous pictures I got on set.

I also started work on I AM … GABRIEL this week. I am so impressed by the cast and crew of this film. Everyone is utterly prepared, ego-less, and simply lovely. Can I just say how refreshing it is to be working with an ensemble that includes so many talented WOMEN! Thank you, Mike, for writing a script that showcases us in this powerful story!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been cast as Kelly Wall, a young mom, in the upcoming film I AM GABRIEL, starring Dean Cain and John Schneider and directed by Mike Norris. This faith-based film is about how a city that has lost its hope gets directed back to God. I’ll be combining my love for my savior Jesus with my love for film in this role, filming in August.
